Question

how does the fair labor standards act protect workers who are 16 to 17 years old?
a. by limiting their hours on school days
b. by limiting their hours and types of work
c. by keeping them out of hazardous jobs
d. by limiting their pay to a lower minimum wage

Explanation:

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has provisions for 16 - 17 - year - old workers. It not only limits the number of hours they can work but also restricts the types of work they can engage in (e.g., prohibits them from doing certain hazardous jobs). Option A only mentions hours, Option B only focuses on school - day hours, and Option D is incorrect as the FLSA sets a minimum wage, not a lower one for this age group.

Answer:

C. By limiting their hours and types of work
